You'll benefit the most from a bigger turbo, but you should see some gains

Yeah that's what I've been reading, but always have a possibility of going bigger turbo down the road. I've been thinking of going with zzp ported head with s1 cams

A ported head will get you nice new shiny valves but gains would be minimal until you went bigger turbo

Well at this point I'm sure a ported head with clean valves would help me more, also while I'm at it i could buy the powell oil separator and do the timing chain.

But depending on budget I could go s1 cams clean the valves, still buy the oil separator and the timing chain kit
